INTER-URBAN TRANSIT.

The organization of rapid transit
company to operate between the two
cities is gratifying fact, particularly
as the incOrporators are men whose
names present a sufficient guarantee OF
the energetic pushing of the enterprise
to successful completion. There IS
need of more expedition, more direct
and cheaper communication between
the two cities. The present rate OF fare
for the brief distance traversed is en-
tirely too large.
To one required to make the trip be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis twice
daily, as many must, it amounts to
serious tax in the course of year, tax
which not a few can well afford to pay.
The lack of better suburband and inter
urban transit has always been one OF the
greatest bars to the complete develop
ment of the Twin Cities. The new
company bids fair to remedy the evil in
a measure. Particularly will it do this
if enabled, by elevated tracks or other
wise, to do something of a passenger
traffic from the suburbs to the business
centers of either city.
The present inter-urban roads,
through their location, are unable to do
anything toward carrying passengers in
the city proper Though the cable line,
now building, will. if all anticipatiOns
are realized, prove boon indeed in pro-
viding quick transportation to outlying
portions of st. Paul, the additional
I,uiIdinU Of an elevated system bV the
new company would still further meet
the demand existing in both cities for
more easy transportation from suburbs
to city.
st. Paul and Minneapolis are both de-
plorably behind their sister cities in the
matter of transportation facilities, and
it is, therefore, with especial gratifica-
ton that the people of each city can
view the promise of better things.

A NEEDED SOCIETY.

The Philadelphia Times suggests the
formation in every city of a society OF
business men of high standing and reSo-
lutte character to enforce the prompt
prosecution of every thief or embeZZler
vino betrayS trust to commit crime. The
suggestion is as excellent as it is timely.
There is no trouble in sending the poor
and friendless who steal food and cloth
ing to the penitentiary, but it has come
to pass that it is next to an impossibility
to convict the wealthy thief. His money
and respectable family connections are
interpoSed to save him from the state
prison. If he cannot circumvent JUS
tice by the instrumentality of legal tech
ticalities he is allowed to put up bail
and skip to Canada. As long as
private trust is one of the prime
ness men of the country are inter
ested in bringing this mockcry of JUS
tice to an end. A society charged with
protecting commercial integrity is
needed in every business center, and
the GLOBE indorses the suggestion
made by its Philadelphia contemporary.
If we are to have societies for the pro-
lection of children and animals, let us
also have one for the protection of buSi-
ness interests. Whenever the certainty
of the penitentiary is made to stare
every embezzler in the face there will
not be so much temptation to certain
class of criminals to crafty their profit
gate tastes by embeZZlement.

HOW THE WIND BLOWS.

Some time ago, it will be remembered,
the GLOBE gathered numerous inquiries
from all over the Northwest regarding
presidential preferences. 1t was shown
very conclusively that CLEVELAND was
the first choice of the Democrats, and
BLAINE the favorite of the Republicans.
Shortly after the Toledo Blade collected
answers to similar inquiries in Ohio and
adjoining states. Exactly the same re-
suit was revealed. Now, the Southwest
responds in a precisely similar strain to
questions put by the Kansas City Times.
1t is very easy to see which way the
wind blows. There is little doubt but
that if the same inquiries were made in
every state in the Union they would be
attended with the same results. There
is every indication that the contest of
three years ago will be repeated year
hence, unless some occurrence now en-

HOME MADE WINES.

Despite all our cold water brethren
may do the average man in comfortable
circumstances will drink wine on occa-
sion, and it won't hurt him either. That
is to say it won't be injurious if he really
drinks wine and not some decoction of
logwood and drugs maSquerading under
the name of wine.
And it is just some such deleterious
compound that the consumer is likely
to get in the purchase of imported
wines, particularly those of the cheaper
grades. Investigation has shown that
the exports of wine from France during
the-past year were nearly twice as great
as the total output of her vineyards, not
allowing either for home consumption.
Whence came the difference? Easy
enough; by adulteIation and the inn
portation of California wines re-exported
as French.
In many cases the man who immag-
ines he is drinking a French wine, of
old vintage and established reputation,
is drinking simply the wine of sunny
California under foreign label. The
same is true regarding the Rhine wines.
The annual supply of genuine Johan-
nisberg, for instance, is so little that
the bon viyants of Paris or Vienna,
al9ne would consume it all, yet there is
probably not wine house in this coun-
try in which alledged Johannnisberg
cannot be purchased. Great the in
genuity which can make a little go a
long way. 1t is therefore tolerably
clear that in buying foreign wines
Americans are not getting what they
suppose. They have the remedy in
their own hands.
California can produce every kind of
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-08-29

wine. She already markets many ex-
cellent brands, but she could do still
better with substantial encouragement.
She has been steadily improving the
quality and increasing the quantity OF
her annual product, until to-day she
could easily supply the entire
trade of America with
far better and more wholesome
wine of the same grade as the imported.
With climatic conditions exactly similar
there is no reason why California should
not rival France as the home of health
full wines. But there is one mistake the
grape-growers of the slope make. In
stead of allowing their wines to rest on
their own merits, they too frequently
try to initiate foreign standards and
spoil an excellent domestic product to
produce bad imitation.
The more common wines, clarets and
white wines, are. however, put forth on
the basis of purity, merit and economy,
and the gratifying success already
achieved with them leads to the belief
that some day in the not distant future
America will be an exporter instead OF
an importer of wines.

A FORESTRY CONGRESS.

About the middle of next month a
number of men, earnest but unpreten-
tiouS, will meet in convention at
Springfield, ILL.,, on invitation of the leg
islature of that state. They will COM
pose the''American Forestry Congress-"
and, unheralded though it is, the con-
greSS is deserving of especial attention
in the Northwest. 1t has for its object
the laudable design of making the most
of the forest resources of the country,
by arresting their waste in the present,
and providing for their elasticity in the
future. Few people appreciate the
rapidity with which the country is being
denuded of its forests.
Between the annually recurring for
est fires and the inroadS of the lumber
men, the time is not far distant when a
timber famine may reasonably be eX-
pected. Indeed it is said by one scien-
tist that America is within II per
cent. of the condition when the progress
of the clearing away of forests results
in climatic changes. There are now in
the entire country but 5O0,0O0,0O0 acres
of forest, and from these the whole an
nual supply of 10000, 900, 600 feet of lum-
Der must be drawn. 1t does not require
an adept arithmetician to figure out that
the exhaustion of the supply, at this
rate, is but question of comparatively
brief time.
And the lumbermen of the North
west are doing their fair share in the
demolition. 1t is of course necessary
that the demand for lumber shall be
met. but there might be more economy
in supplying it, and the supply might
be surrounded by such restrictions that
the time of exhaustion would be indefi-
nitely tdeferred. Not only that, but
some provision might be made to re-
place the forests now being destroyed.
The extension of arbor societies under
state supervision might do much to nit
igate the evil.
This and kindred topics will be dis
cussed at the coming congress, and such
views, formulating any really practical
suggestion for averting the danger now
threatening, as are adopted it would be
well for the Legislators of the Northwest
to carefully note.

DIR. PARKER'S VISIT.
The Venerable Divine Will De-

The Venerable Divine Will De-
liver Eulogy on Beecher.
New YORK, Aug. 2S.-Rev. DR.. JO-
seph Parker, of the City temple, Lon
don, who for years was the bosom friend
of Henry Ward Beeeher, and enter
tanned that gentleman and his wife
when they visited Europe last summer,
arrived here this morning on the steamer
Umbria. He was driven from the deck
to the Everett house, where he was met
by Mrs. Beecher. They breakfasted to-
gether. DR.. Parker comes here to nde-
liver a course of lectures, under the
management of Mai. James B. Pond.
The clergyman is man close on to
sixty years of age, of medium height,
rather full faced, with massive fore
head, from which generous supply OF
hair is brushed back. He was plainly
dressed in suit of dark blue clothes
and leaned back in his big arm chair
when reporter called upon him.
''What kind of trip did you have
coming over?'' asked the reporter.
Anything but pleasant" responded
the doctor. "This is my ninth trip
across, and it was the least pleasant of
all. The captain Of the Umbria says it
Was tll6 WOISt Tip uO udo udu III yOolo

SIS there any truth in the report that
you have come over here in response to
a call to fill the pulpit of Plymouth
church, rendered vacant by Mr.. Beech
er's death?"
''None whatever. was under con-
tract before OMr. Beecher's death to
come over this fall on a lecture tour.
Primarily my trip is for the purpose of
delivering a eulOgy ON Mr.. Beecher at
the Academy of Music, Brooklyn,

spices of the Beecher statue fund.
| left England amidst chorus of ap-
proval of my mission. Our people all
feel that Mr.. Beecher'S memory should
be fittingly commemorated. The day L
left l received a letter from Mr.. Glad
stone, which closed with the following
words: Il sincerely wish you safe and
happy expedition This letter was in
reply to request from me that he
would unite with the president OF the
United States in accepting the dedlca-
ton of the eulogy."
''Have you any engagements to preach
at Plymouth church,"
''None except on the first Sunday in
October. On the 4th deliver the eulogy
on Mr.. Beecher in Brooklyn. On Oct.
l lecture in Philadelphia, on the 9th
at Chickering hall here, on the 10th IN
Boston and on the nth in Montreal. l
shall then make Western trip.
